Album of the year 2022

[Knotted]

Looking at the early entries, everybody is down their own rabbit holes and the list is all over the place. Looks like we've reached music utopia with no canon, no trend setters... But fortunately/unfortunately it's beginning to shape up.

 

[Knotted]

Still time if you want to submit

[Knotted]

belboid gets the prize for the worst formatted list.

 

[belboid]

It seemed only fair

 

[Knotted]

24 submissions and 13 of those have a number one spot nobody else voted for at all.

Imanu - Unfold
Hinako Omori - a journey
Cate Le Bon - Pompeii
Kokoroko - Could We Be More
Oreilles - Tableau
Sudan Archives - Natural Brown Prom Queen
Massimiliano Pagliara - See You In Paradise
Samurai Breaks - XTC Generation
The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention
µ-Ziq - Magic Pony Ride
The Mary Wallopers - The Mary Wallopers
Nina Nastasia - Riderless Horse
Silvia Tarozzi & Deborah Walker - Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d'amore

I'll post it all maybe tomorrow but give these a listen in the meantime! Fwiw they're all at joint 36th place.

We do have a firm winner. I better listen to it.

Only one person voted to the Radiohead side project at all?? times have changed around here - used to be a Radiohead LP was a shoe-in for number 1

 

[belboid]

Cate le Bon made it onto my long list, but would have been somewhere in the low thirties.

 

[May Kasahara]

I forgot The Smile Haven't listened to it enough tbf.

 

[killer b]

some real weird shit in those orphan number 1s - promising for the rundown tbh

So my number 1 has at least 2 votes

Any predictions for number 1? I've done a brief assessment and while I'm not at all confident I'm going with an initial call of Kendrick Lamarr

 

[Rebelda]

Oh FS I forgot there was a new Kendrick Lamar this year

I think you'll like this year's list.

 

[killer b]

when are we starting!?

 

[Knotted]

when are we starting!?

Maybe tomorrow. I want to give the top 20 a quick listen first.

 

[Knotted]

Damn, I can't listen to anything now I've started on The Mary Wallopers!

 

[Knotted]

Due to an upside down list Massimiliano Pagliara has sadly been demoted from a lonely no.1 to a lonely no.6.

 

[Rebelda]

Damn, I can't listen to anything now I've started on The Mary Wallopers!

Touring again in May and well worth seeing live lockdown livestreams are all on pootube :beckons down rabbit hole:

 

[Indeliblelink]

a number one spot nobody else voted for at all.

I had Kokoroko on my list but not at no.1

 

[Knotted]

I had Kokoroko on my list but not at no.1

I seem to have missed you off completely! Really sorry. But mistakes are only mistakes if they aren't correctable. Recalibrating....

Give me a little while and I'll start. Maybe Kokoroko made it after all. It is fantastic.

 

[Buddy Bradley]

I forgot to vote, but if I had I think my #1 would have been Rolling Blackouts, Coastal Fever so probably another one nobody else voted for.

I was late submitting it.

 

[Knotted]

I was late submitting it.

You weren't the latest and it wasn't an issue, I just need to double check everything. Looking at it fresh again today, we're ready to go now unless Buddy Bradley wants to submit a list quickly.

 

[Knotted]

Let's redo the lonely no.1's.

Imanu - Unfold
Hinako Omori - a journey
Cate Le Bon - Pompeii
Oreilles - Tableau
Sudan Archives - Natural Brown Prom Queen
Samurai Breaks - XTC Generation
The Smile - A Light For Attracting Attention
µ-Ziq - Magic Pony Ride
The Mary Wallopers - The Mary Wallopers
Nina Nastasia - Riderless Horse
Silvia Tarozzi & Deborah Walker - Canti di guerra, di lavoro e d'amore
Real Lies - Lad Ash
Rolling Blackouts - Coastal Fever

All still at joint 36th position.

 

[Knotted]

No more voting, let's start.

 

[Knotted]

Announcement for future generations.

There will be no Little Simz. Not a single vote. But we can put that down to a December release.​

Sorry future generations.
